Tarcísio urges Senate action against Moraes but avoids ‘dictator’ remark

São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas called on Brazil’s Senate to respond to the institutional crisis affecting the Supreme Federal Court, but avoided revisiting his own earlier attack on Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

Speaking on Tuesday, July 8, De Freitas said the Senate should take action in response to the crisis involving the court. He did not elaborate in the supplied report on what form that response should take.

The governor was also asked whether he still stood by comments he made the previous year, when he referred to Moraes as a “dictator.” He refused to answer that question.
